Dear Praying Friends,
Thank the Lord for His great mercy, as we spent only 15 days at home since our last letter. Ministry in Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia and Australia kept us so busy that we were amazed that neither total exhaustion nor sickness set in. This was due to your faithful prayers for us, and to God's everlasting love.
Ruth had multiple opportunities to speak to ladies, to conduct Sunday school teachers seminars and to do Gospel sessions for children as well. I spoke to pastors' groups, taught in Bible institutes, preached in six different Christian assemblies, spoke in one church's family camp, and conducted various other meetings hoping to edify, encourage and exhort the Lord's people, with His gracious help.
As always, the personal fellowship with many believers, individually, was very cheering to us. And if those brothers and sisters were helped even a fraction of how much we were, then our Lord Jesus has blessed them a lot too!
We are finally back in our apartment in India, and looking forward to more opportunities to be a blessing in local assemblies. My own schedule of teaching seminars to pastors, and to men who are in training to become pastors, is going to be as full as it can be for the next couple of months, I think. A thrilling prospect!
Please Pray:

Please Pray:
·
For our Lord to use Ruth and me for His
glory, and to allow us to have full health, strength and safety as we continue
here in India for the sake of the Gospel of His Son. It seems to be “cold season” here,
too.
·
That we'd make the best possible use of
every day, and not waste our Lord's time.
May we always be thinking ahead to the Judgment
Day.
·
That we would make the Gospel as clear
as possible to as many people as we can.
